The microbeads are from the "Recollections" brand sold at Michael's. I mixed up some of the blue, green, and purple for this random arrangeme...

U-Neek Polish sent me this polish to review. It's for a great cause and 15% of each bottle sold will be donated to the Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation. What is Chiari? Here is the info from U-Neek's shop:"Chiari Malformation (kee-AHR-ee mal-for-MAY-shun) is a condition in which brain tissue protrudes into your spinal canal. It occurs when part of your skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on your brain and forcing it downward....

I've seen these Rimmel polishes on the blogs of international ladies, but I've only ever seen the square boring Rimmel's for sale here in my stores. I recently saw a new revamped display at my local Wal-mart with these! And they were only $1.50. So I browsed the colors and picked this light lavender.The application was a breeze, and the brush is a medium sized paddle brush with the rounded edges to fit your cuticle perfectly. It's not as large...

I finally managed to get my hands on this polish from the Cirque collection from China Glaze. My Sally's never ended up having it, this specific polish was always out of stock. So I ended up ordering it from a seller on Ebay. Here I layered 2 coats of It's a Trap-eze! over 2 coats of Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud. It's like a clown threw up in the bottle. I love it! ...

I really wanted the oversized heart studs to work, so I molded them around my dotting tool until they were curved enough. It was pretty easy because the metal is soft. It worked perfectly to fit them to the curve of my nails. These studs can be found here for $4.89. My base polish is Color Club New Bohemian. I applied 2 coats of topcoat over the studs and I still managed to lose most of them by the end of the day. I think the topcoat has...

Here is a pretty simple french tip design I did, and quickly regretted. The rhinestones drove me nuts. A regular white french tip (I used Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud), you can freehand or tape them off, whichever you prefer. Then I used a skinny striper brush to line the smile line with Sally Hansen Rapid Red. Then secured a red rhinestone when I applied topco...

Studs are one of the latest raves in nail art. Born Pretty sent me this mixed set of studs to review. They're awesome.... Sold here for $4.89. 12 different shapes/sizes. Stars, squares, rectangles, hearts, diamonds... You get it all. Here I've placed a few different shapes over Catrice Sold Out Forever. I love, love, love these rectangles! The diamonds are really cute too, but they are a bit too large for my nails. If they were curved a bit,...
